Tennessee Whiskey
Dean Dillon, Linda Hargrove / George Jones
G | C | G | |
I used to spend my | nights in a | barroom, |
D7 | |
Liquor was the only friend I | knew. |
G | C | G | |
But you | rescued me from | reaching for the | bottle |
D7 | G | |
And you brought me back from | being too far | gone. |
G | C | G | |
You're as smo- | oth as Tennessee | whiskey, |
D7 | |
You're as sweet as strawberry | wine. |
G | G7 | C | |
You're as | warm as a | glass of | brandy |
G | D7 | G | |
And I stay | stoned on your | love all the | time. |
I looked for love in all the wrong places, |
Found the bottom of the bottle always dry. |
But when you poured out your love I didn't waste it, |
'Cause there's nothing like your love to get me high. |
You're as smo-oth as Tennessee whiskey, |
You're as sweet as strawberry wine. |
You're as warm as a glass of brandy |
And I stay stoned on your love all the time. |
